On May 1, 2024, Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (the "Company") held its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), and, on May 2, 2024, the Company filed a Form 8-K disclosing the results of the stockholder vote for each proposal on which stockholders voted at the Annual Meeting (the "Original Form 8-K"). The sole purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A is to supplement the disclosure made under Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders in the Original Form 8-K. Except as set forth herein, no other modifications have been made to the Original Form 8-K.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As previously disclosed in the Original Form 8-K, stockholders voted at the Annual Meeting on a proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the preferred frequency of future advisory approvals of the compensation of the Company's named executive officers ("say-on-pay") and selected "1 Year" as the preferred frequency. In accordance with these results and its previous recommendation, the Company's board of directors adopted a policy on July 30, 2024 that the Company will conduct future say-on-pay votes every year until the next required vote on the frequency of such say-on-pay votes.
